Thankful For The Rain Lyrics

You say hello like a long lost friendAnd play me like an old violinAnd in a day or two you're gone againAnd I wonder why I keep playingI sit and watch the clouds each dayWondering when they will turn to grayAnd you come and goLike a storm across the coastAnd expect me to be thankful for the rain

Well I guess I should be thankful forAll the nights of straight downpoursAnd soaking up every drop I get'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait'Til you come blowing back my wayI'm learning to be thankful for the rain

I know when the morning comesThe truth will rise up like the sunAs I'm cleaning up the damage doneThere's everything I prayed for

You come and goLike a storm across the coastAnd expect me to be thankful for the rain
